One Shoulder Dresses

One shoulder dresses offer both sophistication and uniquely dramatic design. This trend doesn't show signs of stopping; stars like Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, Rihanna, and many more are baring shoulders. These elegant dresses come in a range of shades and styles. While many one shoulder gowns are formal, there are also a number of more casual options available. Browse these dress styles to choose a look that's right for you.

Fun and flirty, a short one shoulder white, Grecian inspired dress like this style from the Jessica Simpson collection is perfect for summer.

A short print version of the single shoulder dress, like this multicolored style from London Times, creates a more casual feel than other, more form fitting options.

A bright red satin dress with feminine details, like this gown from David's Bridal, is spicy, yet still sophisticated.

Textured or ruched fabric, like that in this Eliza J style, helps camouflage small figure flaws for a flattering look.

A flowy dress with burnout embellishment and draped ruffle is a sweet and feminine take on this dramatic look. Shown here is a hi-low style from Halston Heritage.

A long single shoulder gown is simple and elegant. A bold color like eggplant or teal, looks sleek with its simple details like an embellished waist and split leg.

Pair the color red with a one shoulder dress design and you have a recipe for bold, sexy style.

From bold to feminine, though, there are so wonderful options with these dresses. For more dress ideas and fashion tips, see:
